25th March 2014 Squats

High bar squats

attempted 220kg * 1 (but no depth)
140 * 5
135 * 8 * 4

Called it a day there cos it was really late and I decided I'd do another real legs session the next day.

26th March 2014 Legs

Seated Leg curls
45kg * 20 * 3

SSB Good mornings
worked in sets of 5 reps, 10kg increments, from 80kg, till 150kg * 5
160kg * 8 (PR)

SSB pause Squats
120 * 8 * 3
The pause was just about a second and a half. Counted these myself so they probably aren't as accurate.

Single leg press
70kg * 15 * 3
Slight pause at bottom of each rep.

Seated Leg curls
65kg * 12 * 3

No lunges today because the pause squats really did a number on my quads.. especially the VMO. SSB squats seem to be a good alternative to high bar, and not as awkward for me, but I think I will try to do some high bar work as often as I can so that I don't need an SSB all the time. Pretty happy with the good mornings. The last rep still looked pretty nice and fast to lockout, but decided to leave some in the tank.

Finally getting a little bit of free time this week. Gonna try to rest up as much as i can (SLEEP!). Diet is going along pretty well, I think I'm actually leaning out in some areas, but I weighed in at 98.5kg today on an empty stomach. Weird.. but in a good way. Macros are still 360/360/140 (C/P/F).
